Tchera Niyego: Can you tell me a little more about your book? Ngak’chang Rinpoche: The book, yes. There are a lot of things going on at the moment because I’ve always been interested in presenting Vajrayana to artists. There’s always been an idea about Buddhism in the West, but the most natural crossover is with […]

For the last nine years, my work has been focused on street trade. Street trade is proliferous in South Africa due to various socio-economic and historical conditions. The plight of these people is often ignored as they are considered a nuisance and yet street traders bring a sense of vibrancy, color, noise, and humor to […]

I was born in England in 1962 and raised in Nigeria. Currently living and working in London, I try to explore issues of race and class through a range of media that includes sculpture, painting, photography, and installation art. Adopting a richly complex, unconventional approach, I lampoon the concept of achieving status through what might […]

As in all my works, I am both character and director. I don’t put myself in the photographs: my work is based on specific situations and people I am familiar with, things I desire, which I rework in my imagination and afterward, I interpret. I borrow an identity. In order to succeed I immerse myself […]

I am interested in re-telling stories that have been passed down, giving importance to past events that I played no part in but feel a connection to through the experience of others. I often use staging and re-enactment to blur the boundaries of […]
